Can any of the toon track products handle two edrum kits at the same time?

[James Doyle]

Rather than going about this the long winded way I will try to make it simple.

I have a modest sized electronic drum set made from two separate manufacturers pads and Modules. I want to use this kit to record drums on my laptop. The modules CANNOT be chained together by midi cable so would have to be connected to the laptop separately.

A Roland TD10 for 6x drums, 1x Hihat and 2x splashes with a UM1 midi to USB adapter to the laptop.

And a Yamaha DTX502 with 4 Yamaha triple zone cymbals plugged into the same laptop by direct USB.

 

In a nutshell, I am looking for a drum software that can read midi signals from two separate Edrum kits and treating it as one big kit.

is any of your newer software capable of this?

ps I have EZDrummer 1  and I cannot find a way to do this so far. I am hoping to upgrade / buy one of your newer programs for this purpose.

I have search countless sites a forums and put this question across to every Facebook drum site I could find and so far no-one has a clue. (plenty of theories but no-one that has actually done it themselves).

Hope you can help

Kind Regards

I use an old Midi Sport by M-Audio, it is a Midi Merger. My ekit is a Roland TD-3 “and” a Roland RTD-4 set up as a single kit with two brains (modules) being merged to my Midi Sport.

A side from my specific setup. If your modules are capable of custom midi maps, you could plug as many modules in as you want theoretically. As you can see in the Audio/Midi setup, multiple midi devices can be active at one time pending specific 3rd party company compatibility (bugs).

I have two separate keyboard midi controllers plugged into EZ as I type this via USB.

I have an e drum kit w 3 modules. I use Logic, and set the midi input to ALL on channel 10. It has no problem combining the modules. Even Superior Drummer 3 Stand Alone can do this. Simply set the midi input to ALL or Omini, depending on DAW. Set the MIDI IN  channel to 10 and set the MIDI OUT channel of each drum module  to channel 10. You can do this on pretty much any DAW, and even the stand alone software.

Works like a champ!
